YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen revealed Tuesday that Cabinet members have not talked about invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Biden during the national reckoning over his cognitive state.

Yellen, 77 — speaking before the House Financial Services Committee — suggested they don’t need to.

While several prominent Republicans including House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) have publicly nudged the Cabinet to consider the move, Yellen was asked whether it had occurred and replied simply, “No.”

She also was asked about the last time she had a meeting with the 81-year-old president and whether she observed any “cognitive decline” in him, as she gave her annual testimony on “the state of the international financial system.”

The treasury chief wouldn’t say the last time the pair met but added, “The president is extremely effective in the meetings that I’ve been in with him."

“That includes many international meetings that are multi-hour.”
